How to Order Groceries.

During the past year, Messrs. Strauss
Bros, the enterprising Barnard street gro
GERS, introduced an entirely new feature in
the grocery business. All of their friends
and customers were supplied with Order
Postal Cards addressed to their store, and
having blank space for orders on the back.
Any one needing goods filled up the card,
placed it in letter box, and when deliv-
cred, the goods were sent home promptly
and with an accuracy unknown under the
old system. This plan has been so accept
able to their customers that two delivery
wagons are kept constantly on the go deliv-
ering the many orders sent ins For the fall
and winter season Messrs Strauss are re-
ceiving a most elegant line OF Family Gro
ceres and Canned Goods of every variety,
and they invite attention to their stock and
the low prices at which it is sold. Goods
are delivered promptly, and the greatest
care given to all orders sent them.

A NEW HOME FOR coNv1CTs.
Locating the Camp at Pritchard's-A
Permanent Institution.

Commissioners Casey, Dorsett and Estill
and County Engineer Thomas spent yester-
day afternoon at the Pritchard plantation,
locating the site for the permanent camp
for the county conyicts The site selected is
that occupied for the same purpose when
the Casey canal was commenced. The camp
will he laid out on plan similar to that on
the Bee road, but the buildings will be
larger and the lookup will have a capacity
for 200 prisoners.
A road will be built from Bonabella
station, on the City and Suburban railway,
to the Waters road, passing in the rear of
the camp. All prisoners VIII be sent at
once D. the permanent camp. 1t is pro-
posed to reserve a tract OF fertile land for
farm, in the cultivation of which will be
utilized the labor Of such adult male'prisoners
as are not able 70 perform heavy work and
that OF female and boy cOnvicts 1t is ex
pected that enough vegetables can be raised
IN this way to supply the prisoners, and
also enough provender for the teams. The
present camps, and others that may be built
hereafter IN localities where work is to be
done, Will be used only as temporary ad-
Juncts to the main camp.
The two divisions Of the chain-gang will
be consolidated in the one camp as soon as
practicable, and when any work is 10 be
done the entire force will be put upon it.
Until the new buildings are completed and
the work now in hand completed, the camps
on the Bee road and the White Bluff road
will be continued
The able bodied men of Shumans divis-
ion will on Monday begin the work of open
ing a canal to drain off the back water on
the Pritchard plantation, and the Eight
brigade" will open the projected road
through the plantation and underbrush, and
the woods about the site of the new camp.
While this work is in progress county
Engineer Thomas will survey and lay off the
work to be done on the Vale Royal track
The Commissioners expect to complete the
drainage of the Minis swamp this winter,
if the city authorities will open Musgrove
creek. A communication was sent to City
Council on that important subject some
weeks ago, but so far nothing has been
heard from it,
The beneficial effects of the system of
drainage ON the health and prosperity of
the county is so evident that applications to
county are being constantly presented to
the Commissioners. The purchase of the
Pritchard place, and the construction of the
canal through the Harmon swamp and
thence northward to the four-mile post on
the White Bluff road, will relieve large
area of land of It's surplus water, and
within the next twelve months nearly every
low place within a radius of five miles of
the city will be susceptible of drainage if
the owners or occupants will second the
efforts of the Commissioners and assist
them by Openinp small bitches

There is no argument necessary to estab-
lish the fact that if the blood is impure
health is impossible Every intelligent per-
son knows that the blood is the life current,
and any faint in it must of course be inju-
rious to the body. Blood impurities may
manifest themselves in various shapes.
Sometimes it is rheumatism, sometimes
scrofulous troubles, again in glandular
swellings, ulcers, sores, boils, skin erup-
tions, scalp diseases and various external
warnings tell us ''the blood is impure y
| Sometimes an internal organ is the seat of
the trouble-the kidneys, the liver or the
lungs give way, and then we have serious
trouble, for THE blood is the life"
DR.. Whitehead has made study Of this
class of diseases for years, and offers this
preparation to the public as reliable and
powerful blood purifier and tonic.

Another batch of offenders were up in

Allen Wilson was tried on the charge of
exciting 10 riot. He is the one who led the
riot Of the longshoremen at the Bilbo canal
bridge during the labor troubles few
months ago He admitted that he was
present when the riot occurred, but denied
that he took any hand in it. Judge Harden
concluded that he was guilty, and in pro
nouncing sentence, he said: Il desire to
say now in reference to this matter of
strikes, that every man has a right to refuse
to work for wages that he considers not
just. In this country man has right to
starve If he wishes to, but there are others
who will work for those wages and they
shall do so if the whole force of the State
of Georgia has to be exerted to protect
them. No man or combination of men
has a right to force labor up above
its market price, and its market
price rs just what it will cost to have it
done by Others / am sorry to see the col
ored people misled into such troubles as
strikes, for when they are they are led by
persons who have only their own interest at
heart and who will sacrifice the ignorant
worlingmen to their own profit. ! hope |

he MISSED HIS MAN.

How Drummer Got Mixed up on the
Time Question and Lost a Sale.
A Northern drummer walked into one of
the hotels yesterday afternoon and looked
at the clock and then at his watch. 1t was
g o'clock by both. He looked around the
corridor, as if expecting to see some one,
but not finding him, he sat down in an easy
chair to wait. He sat there for about fifteen
minutes, rising now and then to look about
for his man. At last he arose, and, after
frowning for some time, and muttering
something that was probably unsuited for
publication, he took his departure About
a quarter of an hour later well known mer-
chant walked in. He, too, looked about him
as if in search of some one, and failing to
find him he also sat down to wait. After
waiting a few minutes he left, seemingly
much annoyed by what was evidently the
failure of some one to keep an appointment.
He had not been gone long when the drum
mer returned, and, after glancing again
around the corridor, he slipped up to the
desk and asked if the clerk had seen any
thing of Mr.. -.
Yes" was the reply; che came in just
about twenty minutes ago, and waited
here for some time and then left
II had an engagement with him at 3
O'Clock 10 sell him a bill of goods and was
here, but he did not come
LET me see your watch" said the clerk
The drummer showed it, and the clerk
smiled and said: I'm bet that if you hunt
him up and tell him he did not come on time
he win swear that he was here at o'clock
sharp"
But he was not l was here and he was
nowhere around"
YES, but you have standard time and he
city time, and when you were here it was
only 20 by his watch
Thunder and Marsr' exclaimed the
drummer. "Well what in sort of a
way is that to run towns What the -
does anybody want with city timer I've
probably lost a sale by this foolishness."
The clerk was the one who told of the
occurrence and while he was talking a
stranger stepped up to the desk and asked
'What time does the Central train
leaveH'
''S:20.n
IAN right"
STANDARD time" added the clerks
"What9'
$500, standard time"
"What time is thatn asked the stranger,
CHANGING at the clock.
That's standard"
''Well, what other time is thereW
"City time"
'Is that faster or slower than standard
timer
Faster"
How much"
"Thirty-six minutes"
do all trains leave by standard timer"
''Yesn
well, il start from here by that clock
I'll get to the train all right, won't II"
Yes and the stranger walked Off
THAT conversation takes place about
three hundred times a day, more or less, -
said the clerk, ''and have got SO now that
| can go through it with both hands tied
behind me- repeat it i'll my sleep, be-
lieve Night before last | went through it
SO often that | was hoarse and | had to put
my mouth TO a mans ear to make him hear
me-
Some one standing by said: son, l am
sick of the time in this town. They talk
about sun time, and city time,
and standard time, and ninetieth meridian
time, and day time, and night
time and between them all we are upset all
around let's go take something" and the
meeting adjonrned.

Inquiries were made also as to labor.
Forty-six of the agents replied that there
was plenty of labor to be had, two said
there was a surplus and eight that there
was not enough.
From the statistics given above it will be
seen that the production of cotton through
out the section through which the road
runs has increased, and there has been a
very material increase in the cultivation of
corn The acreage of oats increased, but
the crop remained about the same The
acreage of sugar cane increased, but the
crop correspondingly decreased. Rice fell
off more than any, and judging from the
table, it seems that its cultivation is rapidly
dropping out of favor.

unmated-Another Meeting.
The new post office site was the talk of the
street yesterday, as it has been for several
days. The opposition to the barracks site
was even more pronounced than it was the
day before.
The doubt which existed in the minds Of
many as to the contamination OF the pur-
chase of the barracks property is removed
by the announcement from Washington
that Secretary Fairchild win not close the
deal until he has consulted the wishes OF the
people here.
A dispatch u the MORNING News this
morning states that ne will await the arrival
of the protest adopted by Wednesdays mass
meeting before making any further move.
The Attorney General is now examining the
TITLES 10 the property, and until this has
been finished, and a satisfactory report
has been made, there could be nothing done
toward the purchase of the site
In the meantime a movement Is on
foot to secure public Endorsement
of the barracks location A mass meeting
has been called for Monday night at
